Re: [reSIProcate] resiprocate-devel Digest, Vol 48, Issue 18


Hi,
I checked out the code again and ran it, and got over the white space. So the white space issue is gone.
Still can't seem to resolve
[ahuja@canmore resiprocate]$ make

Let me know when you have time so you can help me resolve this.

Thanks a ton

Hi. Sorry; I'm not ignoring you -- I've just run out of time for right now.

The problems you're seeing are, indeed, because of the whitespaces. I don't know why those appear in your build -- I can't reproduce the problem here. The "WARNING" messages you're seeing are also due to the whitespaces. For historical reasons, autotools configure takes any parameters that are neither switches nor assignments and presumes that they specify all three of build, host, and target. This syntax is deprecated, and present only for compatibility. So, once you figure out how to eliminate the whitespaces, those warnings will go away.

It will be several days (if not weeks) before I can take a serious look at this problem again. Sorry that we weren't able to get things working very easily.

Hey adam,
thanks for all your help. I am close. Except one problem
../ares/configure --prefix=/usr/local --host=mips-linux CC= /home/ahuja/aksys/tools/linux/bin/mips_fp_le-gcc CXX= /home/ahuja/aksys/tools/linux/bin/mips_fp_le-g++ AR=/home/ahuja/aksys/tools/linux/bin/mips_fp_le-ar RANLIB=/home/ahuja/aksys/tools/linux/bin/mips_fp_le-ranlib

You see the white space in CC= /home and in CXX= /home, that is causing trouble.

Also, In this warning
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target <----- How do I setup the target? configure: WARNING: invalid host type: /home/ahuja/aksys/tools/linux/bin/mips_fp_le-gcc <-- I think this is frm the white space

I am using shared Libraries yes and distc yes

thanks
Mandeep

The attached patch allows you to set the name of the compiler prefix separate from the name of the platform. Apply this to your tree and verify that it works for you. If it appears to work (or, at least, makes the problem better), I'll go ahead and commit it to the main tree.

Ok, I hope this will answer the question

The above is from resiprocate's first version 0.99 I think. I am trying to get the latest one running with the mips tools.

Thanks for bearing with me Adam.

Waiting....

Ok Let me get this right. Lets try where I dont have to use the autotools




I think you misunderstand what I'm asking. Ares uses autotools, so we don't have any option here -- we need to be able to run ./configure for ares so that ares can be built. I've not worked with build environments in which the name of the compiler differed from the name of the platform. It's just not a problem I've ever encountered, so I don't know how to solve it. Apparently, you *do* know how to solve it, because it's the environment you're working in.

So.

I think I can fix the problem you're encountering if you can clearly, concisely, and accurately answer just one question: With your environment, what would you literally type in to the commandline to configure ares to build? (In your answer, include the output of the configure command so I know what I should expect to see).

(might see a problem again future)
--host=mips-linux
corss_compile = ~/tools/linux/bin/mips_fp_le-
the cross compiler is "mips_fp_le"
Also when i was trying to make 'rutil' it complained about not finding 'ostream' which is in
~/tools/linux/target/user/include/g++-3/ directory.

I hope that can be of some help

I'll see if I can fix this fairly quickly -- what are the exact options that you would expect to pass to an autotools-generated ./configure script to set the compiler correctly? Is it simply "./configure --host=mips_fp_le"? I'll admit that my knowledge of autotools is a bit meager; but, as far as I know, the only way to trigger cross compilation with autotools is to pass it the name of the architecture with the "--host" flag -- and it does the same thing with it as the resip build system does: it prepends it to the names of the various gnu toolchain binaries, and tries it to see whether it works.

In other words: I can split the target platform option into two different options (target platform and cross-compiler prefix) if that's what you need to suit your purposes, but I don't know enough about the autotools systems that I need to pass options into (such as ares) to know what to pass where and how.

Thanks for the heads up Adam,
Here is the first problem
1- The architecture-ostype (in my case mips-linux) does not match with platform string in the name of my cross compiler (mips_fp_le-gcc). I dont plan to change either of the names as I have lot going on already. What can I do to get around?
Here is a little sample output
mkdir -p contrib/ares-build.Linux.mips
cd contrib/ares-build.Linux.mips && \

I need the autotools scripts that you guys had earlier. Remember the 'use_autotools.sh' and 'auto_gen.sh'. I can't find them in the latest checkout. I think last time i checked out was in 2004. If noone has it will the old one work with the new revision. I am doing cross-compiling.






The autotools setup never really got completed (at least, not to everyone's satisfaction), and has been pulled out of the repository for a long time now. Even if you can find a copy, I do _not_ suggest you use it. It is highly doubtful that it will work with the current tree (which has been vigorously reorganized since the last time anyone tried autotools) -- at least, not without a lot of effort.

You're not stuck, though. The current build system has pretty good support for cross compilation using the gnu toolchain. Run the configure script (in the root of the project tree); when it asks which toolchain you plan on using, answer "gnu-cross." It will then prompt you for the path to the cross compiler and the name of the platform formatted as architecture-ostype (e.g., "arm-linux"). This platform name must match the platform string in the name of your cross compiler. (i.e., if your cross compiler is called "arm-linux-gcc", then your platform is called "arm-linux").

If you have any problems with the cross-compilation support in the existing build system, post here about it so we can try to make things work better.
